About Joyful Digesting

Hello! Thanks for visiting us at Joyful Digesting!

So, why create a site about digestive wellness?

For years since getting my GERD under control, I have continued researching and educating myself on digestive issues and general well-being. In the process, I discovered I was lactose intolerant as well, and took steps to ease my discomfort there. Also, I’ve had some pretty nasty food allergies my whole life.

Anytime I hear of or see someone else suffering, I always spout off several tips that I’ve learned and provide all sorts of informational material. I’m a real hit at parties, as you might imagine! My intentions are always good, though. After becoming known as something of a “healthy eating evangelist” amongst my friends, family, and coworkers, several people suggested that I gather up all of the information in one place and create a website.

I finally took their advice to heart, and you’re looking at the result! It took a lot of brainstorming, consultations with friends/family/professionals, Internet research, and I had to learn how to make a website… but I’m thrilled with JoyfulDigesting.com, and I hope you are, as well.

I’ve compiled and posted straightforward symptom, diagnosis, and treatment information, and worked hard on designing the site for maximum usefulness and ease of navigation. My goal is to help people and to not frustrate them while doing so - you won’t find too much fluff here.

Hopefully, JoyfulDigesting.com is your “one-stop shop” for digestive issue information, but I’ve also included some resource links at the end of each article so you can be as informed as possible.

An even bigger goal of mine is to form a digestive wellness community. I’m only one person and can only list what I personally know and have researched, but there’s a wealth of information that needs to be shared with the world, so head on over to our forums! Share your own inspirational story, your tips and recipes, and your questions for other members - basically, encourage one another. A simple fix you’ve learned could make a major positive impact in the quality of life for a random person across the globe.

I hope you’ll keep coming back to JoyfulDigesting.com and share your own experience - I’ll be ecstatic if I learn that I enabled even one person to conquer their digestive issues, or to have less complications than they would have otherwise. Use the site to its fullest potential - I’ve created this for you, and I’d love to see it get utilized!

Contact me anytime, tell me what could be added or changed, or what you just plain don’t like! I am very open to suggestions and want this site to be a valuable resource to anyone in need of help with their digestive disorders. Bookmark this site so you can return frequently, and again, thanks for visiting JoyfulDigesting.com!
